Proportions of doom

An old adage in computerlandia says: Never attribute to malice that
which can be explained by incompetence.

I observe that incompetence is a limitless recource, which is a
practical way of saying that it is infinite. But the estimation of
how much of the world's awfulness is due to incompetence versus malice
requires considering the proportion of one to the other; and normally
one would suppose that an infinity of incompetence drowns out
any amount of malice.

But these days, malice too seems to be limitless, and the question
of how to evaluate an infinity divided by infinity is an open issue in
applied higher mathematics.
